The championship finished off a perfect season for the boys, who won all four of their regular season events before taking the state title. The girls’ Cross Country team also had a successful season, compiling podium finishes of third place at the Union County meet and second place at the Fannin County Hero Run and Towns County meet before finishing the season with a fourth place finish at the League Championships.
